Introducing Weekly Themes


So, yesterday was a mess. 

Ain't gonna lie.

But, as the day wound down I was reminded of the idea of
weekly themes. I am always in need of a central thread to grow
ideas from and this fits perfectly into that idea. 

I'm great at planning these things. Not so great
at implementing them. But I did find a great resource
www.education.com
that is going to help with this. 

Next week we will be doing Under the Sea as our theme!
So we will be doing all the school stuff we need to do,
but it will be with an ocean-y type theme. Math will be counting
seashells, for example. 

So I have a plan!

And thank goodness too,
because HISD just announced they will be doing
online only schooling until October 16th so I gotta
get my ass in gear!!

Right now Barry is quarantining in our home office
while doing his feature (which they just shut down temporarily
because some people got sick.) but as soon as he is done
I will work on getting that space back and cute for the boys.

Until then, our new dining room table will come in this week
or next and I'm hoping Bear will be excited enough about it to want
to do school work in the dining room!

I'm still working on what all I will need to do each week but
I know I will need to cover:
-Math
-Science
-Handwriting
-Language
-Music
-Puzzles
-PE

And then the twins have their own stuff I need to figure out. 
I think I'll need two hours a day with Bear, and then an hour each with the twins. 

Honestly, I can't freaking wait. I LIVE for this kind of stuff,
I just don't know how to make my kid love it as much as I do. 
ESPECIALLY WHEN HE LOVES DOING IT AT SCHOOL
BUT NOT AT HOME.
You can understand my frustration?

I'm finalizing my plans for next week, when I get that finished 
I'll do another post on my ideas! 

And by my ideas I mean stuff I stole off pinterest ;)
